Adventures of a Blue Water Cruiser

The Boat

Sol purpose is a 1994 Caliber 40 hull number #66. She was purchased in August 2010 in Beaufort, North Carolina and sailed to Kemah, Texas in 16 days. She is a cutter rigged sloop with a removable inner forestay.

The George and Michael McCreary designed Caliber 40 entered the cruising boat scene in 1991 from their plant in Clearwater, Florida. It was the next incarnation of their 38 with extended stern and swim platform.

Hi,
You mentioned that you replaced all the rigging on Sol Purpose when you got her, did you replace the gooseneck bracket and boom arm bracket as well?Just curious as I have a boat project myself and I need to replace the gooseneck bracket but having a hard time sourcing one in UK or Ireland. I noticed that your boom arm bracket is identical to mine so I am assuming like my boat that the gooseneck bracket is identical too.
